Colorado Springs

It’s raining harder than a cow pissing on a flat rock. It seems that more than just collegiate cyclists have converged on the 7-Eleven velodrome yesterday and for the rest of the week. Andrea was able to race yesterday morning in the 2k Pursuit. She caught her pursuit partner, which always slows you down a bit, but still put in a respectable 2:47.4 for 7^th place. Tela Crane placed 10^th overall and Anita came in 14^th out of 32 racers. The afternoon session was finally canceled after 3 hours of waiting for the rain to stop after it started as the national anthem was being sung. The events of the evening, which included the 500 meter and 1 kilometer time trials, were moved to this morning.

When we woke up, it was still raining and there is no sign of relief. So it was a quick trip to Starbucks and now we get to watch CNN as they cover this hurricane. I’m glad I don’t live in Texas.
